      CAT III had errors. The problem is with NQF 0059. Following are the findings: For NQF 0059: Diabetes: Hemoglobin A1c Poor Control – the numerator is supposed to include patients whose most recent Hemoglobin A1c lab result value is >9%. In this case patient Ashley Briggs has an active diagnosis of Diabetes Mellitus (ICD-9-CM 250.01, dx date Feb 26, 2013) and her most recent Hemoglobin A1c lab result value is 8% (dt Jul 22, 2013). Since the patient's lab result value is <9% she is not included in the numerators. Cypress is expecting this patient (Ashley Briggs) along with patient Jessie Bowman to be included in the numerator (both these patients qualify the initial patient population and denominator requirements of NQF 0059). Since Ashley Briggs is not reported, Cypress is considering it as an error hence the 11 error messages and the failure of the measure.
